Château de Foucaucourt stands in Foucaucourt-Hors-Nesle (Somme), in the Hauts-de-France region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 16th century, 17th century, 18th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.
In Foucaucourt-Hors-Nesle, west of Amiens, stands a château built in the 17th century on the foundations of an earlier structure. The barn, the pigeon house with its glazed bricks and the enclosure walls still date back to the 16th century, while the interior retains its 18th century decor: a diamond-pattern parquet floor, dining room panelling and painted panelling with an oriental influence added the following century. The garden still holds traces of an old kitchen garden and a planted half-circle.
